TL;DR: Reflex digital pressure test device — an accessory for checking the gas-side (nitrogen) pre-pressure of diaphragm expansion vessels. An essential tool for periodic HVAC maintenance.
- Application: gas-side pressure verification for Reflex, Refix and similar vessels
- Measurement range: 0-9 bar
- Display: digital, illuminated
- Calibration: factory-set
Where the device is used
Diaphragm expansion vessels (Reflex N/S/NG, Refix DD/DT etc.) operate on gas-side pre-pressure — typically nitrogen or air — that absorbs water expansion in HVAC systems. This gas pressure decays over time, so it must be checked periodically (annually, ideally before the heating season) and topped up if needed. The device screws onto the vessel's gas valve and shows the exact reading in bar/kPa/psi on an illuminated display.

Designer note: when measuring gas pre-pressure, the water side of the vessel should be depressurised (or the vessel isolated) — otherwise the reading reflects combined water and gas pressure. Recommended gas pre-pressure equals the static system height + 0.2 bar (see specific vessel documentation).
When to choose
- HVAC service companies performing periodic expansion vessel maintenance
- Substation administrators verifying Reflex/Refix vessels
- When a more precise reading than an analog gauge is required
- Compatibility: all standard Reflex/Refix diaphragm vessels with Schrader-type gas valve

Frequently asked questions
How often should gas pre-pressure be checked?
Recommended once per year, before the heating season. Check immediately if pressure fluctuations occur (frequent safety valve opening or system pressure drop).
What pre-pressure to set?
System-dependent: p₀ = h/10 + 0.2 bar, where h — static height (m). Example: a 5-storey building with h ≈ 15 m → p₀ ≈ 1.7 bar. See Reflex sizing guide for details.
Compatible with Refix and other vessels?
Yes. The device is universal — fits all Reflex and Refix diaphragm vessels with a standard Schrader-type gas valve (same as a car tyre).
Does the battery need replacement?
Reflex does not publish full electrical specs for this model. Standard digital tools of this class typically use a lithium cell with 2-5 year service life. For bulk orders, verify the current shipment documentation.
